Sleeping Beauty's Castle is only 77ft, but seems taller because of forced perspective

The bricks get smaller as you get further up the building, which makes it look like it’s stretching into the horizon

2

If you're willing to pay the $27,000 starting fee and $12,000 annual dues, you can join the exclusive VIP park feature, Club 33.

Though the whole park has a liquor license, Club 33 is also the only part of the park where you can purchase alcohol during the day.

3

If you ask nicely, you might be able to pilot the Mark Twain riverboat

4

Disneyland isn't build on ground level, it's actually build on top a tunnel system the cast members use to get around!

Cinderella's Fountain is meant to look different to kids and adults

Kids can see her smile but adults just see her look down in sadness

Main Street USA was designed after Marceline, Missouri, where Walt Disney grew up.

14

Disneyland is full of "Air Smellitizers". They're used on Main Street to vent the smell of vanilla and candy, but during Christmas it vents out the smell of peppermint!

18

Cast Members are forbidden to have any facial hair.

This rule started out due to Disney's desire to distinguish Disneyland from "sleazy carnivals" and stuck.

20

You have a chance to ride the Lilly Belle train car, named after Disney's wife, if you ask the cast members at the railroad station

23

The asphalt in Disneyland is actually a mixture of asphalt and rubber to make it more comfortable for guests to walk on all day

24

Space Mountain's cars only go 30mph but the ride uses tricks like banked curves, darkness, and air blasts to give the illusion of a higher velocity

25

Every 15-20 minutes the song "I'm Wishing" plays and echoes softly by Snow White's Wishing Well

The address of the Disneyland Resort is 1313 N. Harbor Blvd. M is the 13th letter, so Mickey Mouse (MM) lives at 1313
